In this deeply personal episode, I’m opening up about why I stepped away—and what I discovered when I finally gave myself permission to do less.
From navigating lifelong ADHD and the intensifying effects of menopause, to letting go of the pressure to always be productive, I share how creating space for myself helped me reconnect to joy, embodiment, and the power of simply being.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough, not being enough, or like you’re constantly performing just to keep up—this episode is for you.
You'll hear how rest became my healing tool, how working out became a pleasure instead of a performance, and how midlife became the gateway to reclaiming who I truly am.
